Mindless Ramblings

Friday, March 18, 2016

The Grand Old Party has come to the crossroads of tyranny and democracy, but can it choose wisely and better yet, can it find its way back on a path to building a "Shining City on a Hill"?

Donald Trump has turned American politics on its head. He poses a threat to both right and left with his brash style and deliberate disregard for decades of the correct crowd's language barriers. He doesn't need anyone's money to make a run for the White House and has been a healthy contributor to a number of it's past occpants. He is on every side of every issue at the same time denying at a moments notice any evidence to the contrary, and he is as confident about himself and his chances of winning as anyone that has tossed their hat into the ring.

Yes, He is a billionaire showman and a businessman who has done what many business people st his level have done along the way, had a few failures. Some larger than others, a few requiring assistance from the bankruptvy courts to resowlve. The fact is he is successful and he has built a huge company with thousands of employees. He understands the economy in ways most of us can only hope to get an inkling from in the pages of the Wall Street Journal. He knows how to manage people and that is after all what politics is in the end... hearts and minds. He's a winner and he wants you to believe you can be one too.

Now before you stop reading because you believe I am in the bag for "The Donald" you need to check your imagination at the end of the last paragraph. He is not my first choice for President, but in the end he may necessarily be my last. I will not cast a vote for Hillary Clinton.

The GOP invited Mr Trump to the party with open arms. Now they are caught with their tail between their legs because they found out he invited in every pissed off person that's voted Republican since Bush 43 took office. He represents their collective Middle Finger and they along with a bunch of Reagan Democrats and some independents are coming along for the ride
Every reasonably qualified candidate, yes there were at one point 17 except for 2 have gone to the wayside. The entire establishment from top to bottom of the GOP Past and Present cut through like butter with a hot knife. Only one serious contender remains, Ted Cruz.

The GOP hates Ted Cruz of Texas almost as much as Donald Trump of New York. Cruz has been the insider enema the GOP Senate has never been able to accept. He's broken a Cardinal rule of their club, He kept his campaign promises. God forbid they all might try that sometime. Cruz has a very good campaign built but his resources are limited and he is a real Conservative. He has won 8 primaries and cacusses, but none by convincing majorities except his home state of Texas.

The Party Faithful believe they have an argument that if Trump fails to achieve a sufficient number of delegates to secure the nomination outright, that the rules committee should be allowed to change the rules and a candidate acceptable to them could be selected from the convention floor. Governor John Kasich of Ohio the other remaining candidate is hoping this will be his path to the eventual GOP nomination.

The problem is that the National Party and the State Parties committed to a process with a set of rules everyone agreed to follow. People have gone to the polls and will continue to go until the last primary in June. They expect their voice to count. They expect their vote to carry some weight even if it is by a plurality rather than a majority. Their own post 2012 election autopsy report showed clearly that their number one priority was to listen more closely to the voters. To date they've made a mocary of the process.

The last contested convention pitted a sitting President Gerald R Ford against a former Governor Ronald Wilson Reagan. Reagan lost by just fewer than 125 votes after a number of ballots. Jimmy Cater went on to win the General Election. It left Reagan so dejected he nearly left politics all together, but came back four years later at the urging of his wife Nancy, and was elected twice.

The GOP has not had a good track record since with the White House since. They elected Bush 41 and 43 but lost with Dole, McCain, and Romney.

They accepted an alliance with the socalled TEA party and won back the House of Representatives in 2010, then increased their margins in 2012 and taking the Senate back in 2014. Each time they came vowing to take action by using the power of the purse held by the House to reign in President Obama and to end the log jam Harry Reid created in the Senate. Nothing happened on either count and no positive action beyond a budget trap they laid for the President and we're eventually were blamed for themselves which they gave up on in the end was ever presented to the American People.

The rank and file Republican base has had it and then are on the outs with their Party leadership. They grow more frustrated each day. A takeover by Party hacks at the convention would result in mutiny. There will be no "Riots" because that's not what Republicans do. There will be a backlash the likes of which no one may have ever seen. Not only would Mr Trump get his nomination, but the platform could be changed from the floor, and so to could be the rules, and the Party officials. The days of smoke filled rooms with backroom deals would be faint memories the Party leaders could simply pray to have back.

Let's face it. The GOP F'd it up good. Not just this time but a bunch of times. Their half baked thought processes and half assed follow through have brought them to this point. It's over for them unless they take one for the team. They need to heed the voice of the people and respect the process they themselves created. Next time if you are going to allow in everyone be sure you know who the hell everyone is exactly. If they do not I am afraid it is over, and over for the fools running the show. They may as well board up the building in DC and move to France. At least there they don't have to pick up a gun.

Everyone from the media to the Democratic Party Candidates to Mr. Trump's own Republican Party competitors for the nomination have panned his notion of shipping out up to 12 million unlawfully present persons making their residence in the borders of the United States for various reasons. Some have called it impractical and others have gone as far as to call it racist. Regardless of how you feel about Mr. Trump and his idea, it is not the first time it has been done.

However, the scale of the undertaking does pose considerable logistical issues. It also will create economic disruption to families and communities not to mention the social implications of sending away family members for a possibly indefinite period of time.

Mexico is the single largest source of the immigrant population that resides here without legal status. Mexico is also the recipient of a significant amount of the earnings of many of the workers here who send money to their families from every paycheck.

When a country establishes an embassy or consulate on foreign soil that place becomes the sovereign territory of the government of the establishing country. Why would it not be possible for Mexico to establish temporary consulate offices within US borders where each one of the non compliant individuals could self deport and at the same time apply for and be issued a temporary US Visa providing them legal status and the ability to work while they apply for permanent resident status.

This would solve Mr. Trump's logistical issue and take the burden of home wrecker and racist from all of the various titles he has so generously been bestowed. It would also be the.beginning of a solution to our immigration disaster.

All immigrants to the United States should have to pledge to assimilate. It is no longer enough to ask what we have been requirung. We cannot be a melting pot if everyone who comes to our shores or our border refuses our culture in favor of their own. We are a uniquely American culture. We come frome many lands and cultures and we have and do speak many laguages, but we are united as one people with one language and stand in the world as the Shining City on the Hill from which a Thousand Points of Light can be aspired to if you only have the desire to aspire.

What will the next TARGET be?

The first thing first! Goodbye to the HYPHEN. HYPHEN
you've created a house divided. You've stopped the assimilation of immigrants
from many into one by giving them permission to remain separate. You've
promoted the idea that our culture is ripe for many languages not a uniquely American
brand of English to be part of our great society. You've made it a necessary
evil to name all who disagree a bigot or worse. You've made your way into
our lexicon in ways no one ever dreamed possible. It is time for you to go BAN
THE HYPHEN!!!

Everyone says to put the Confederate Flag in a Museum...
well hell, let's just ban museums. We don't need them anyway. We have the
internet. Isn't that what Al Gore invented it for... I mean really? Just pack
all that stuff up and sell it to some rich dude in Hollywood and use the real
estate for Homeless Shelters. Our children will be perfectly happy using their
iPhones and iPads to look at photos of historical artifacts and documents in
the comfort of their home of classroom, and think of all the fossil fuel that
will be saved from not having to send them on field trips, not to mention the
liability for potential harm that could come to them should they be killed, maimed,
or otherwise damaged from viewing some unforeseen event too graphic to
describe. Museums are stuffy and are for "Old People". The internet
is Cool and when you're bored with Pocahontas and Patrick Henry you can go kill
aliens. They'll have all sorts of virtual nastiness to see, the Nazis, the Confederates,
the Soviets, you name it... it's all there, no brick and mortar required. BURN
ALL THE FLAGS & THE BOOKS TOO... Amazon needs the business.

Next we need to have an Article VI (5) Constitutional
Convention to set aside some of the perks Congress has taken for itself over
the past century or so. First among that list would be Term Limits. At one time
I foolishly believed like our founders elections were term limits, but Congress
has "rigged the system" in ways that have Jefferson and Madison
spinning faster than dynamometers in their respective graves with the use of gerrymandering
and other political trickery that guarantees them a nearly endless return to
their seat of power once elected. Second would be a secession of benefits for
members of Congress (House and Senate - both make up Congress contrary to popular
belief) give them health insurance while they're in office, beyond that,
they're on their own. The list here is quite nasty but I believe the point is
that the power of Congress needs to be restrained in a manner that forces it to
reflect the intent of the founding document and the States should be returned
to a more prominent role in resolving the issues of the day. Some would like to
see a return to appointed Senate seats as originally set forth by the
Constitution, this would tend to be more reflective of the representation of
State Governments and not that of political machines, along with term limits
this is a logical and reasonable return to a republican (small R) form of
government. Note we are not a pure democracy (small D).

On the subject of Education, we need to Ban the Public
Teacher's Unions. If you don't teach you need to GTFO... that simple. When your
primary negotiation position is "You Don't Care About the Children"
it's a 99% chance the lie is pretty big there. Maybe the teachers care a lot...
those thugs that run the front office don't give a wit about the little sniveling
naves in the classroom, or their little dogs named Toto either. So No Tenure just
for showing up. Oh don't worry... For you layers upon layers of mid level
management... Bye-Bye too, if you can't be justified in a direct support role
for educating a child you've got no business being in the business of
education. We spend far too much to get crappy results. We're behind not one or
two countries in the world, we're behind a dozen and in some cases 20 countries.
That doesn't say much for the effectiveness of our system. While the school
systems need serious reform they can't be the "target" of all the
blame. A good portion of that needs to go to the Parents of the students for
not following up on their children and not participating in their children's
education in a meaningful way. No one is off the hook here.

While I'm beating up Education... We need to ban Protest
signs. People are ignorant and are not taught to spell properly in the bullshit
excuses for public schools we send them to... it's embarrassing to send images
of protesters around the world that can't spell what they are protesting
against. That's just offensive.

We need to ban the Shoe Police at Airports. Do you know how many people have
stinky feet? Do you know how many old people can't tie their own shoes? Do you
know how many shoe bombs have been found since people have been forced to take
off their shoes at airports? TSA isn't answering any of these questions. It's
the nation's largest employer of people with foot fetishes. To date
however... no reported incidents of explosive shoes. Stop that shit now!.

We need to ban Global Warming & Climate Change
alarmists from the public square, yes that includes TV and Radio. Until hell freezes over they have not much to
report. So far they've been blissfully wrong about all their predictions. I'm
still trying to figure out how the glaciers melted without the help of cow
farts and tractor trailer exhaust...but I digress. Besides a few major volcanic eruptions or one
pretty good size asteroid in the right place and their theory is shot all to
hell anyway. This is also true in the event of a nuclear war. Iran will sell a
nuke to someone. Sorry Al Gore, you lose.

Ethanol... gotta ban that. Uses too much energy to
produce and causes artificially high prices of corn which drives up the cost of
food for poverty stricken people at home and abroad. That's settled science -no
debate move on.

We need to ban all the Bullshit Wars...Congress last
declared war to get us into World War II nothing since. Take you bullshit war
and shove them... Got a cause... make it a war... No More!!! War on Poverty - Epic
Fail, War on Drugs - Epic Fail, War on Cancer... my mother and lots of friends
and relatives are dead... the jury is still out. The War on Women - pure
unadulterated bullshit. Currently there is a War on male rapists on
college campuses - Duke, UVA, now Amherst...
How's that working out for ya??? Hope and Change Much - another Epic
Fail. Even when there's a basis for something that could have merit, activist with
their take no prisoners methods destroy any hope of credibility and have set
back this cause perhaps irreversibly.

Then there's Poor Alexander Hamilton is already been TARGETED
to come off of the $10 bill. The original bill moving through Congress had
taken aim at Andrew Jackson on the Twenty Dollar Denomination, but the Secretary
of the Treasury poo pooed that idea in favor of all the people to pick, the man
that designed our monetary system would be the last likely candidate. Why
not dump Abe Lincoln, he's got a monument and used to have a National
holiday in his honor. It's not like he'll be forgotten. He wasn't even a
founding father. All he really did was preside over the deadliest period of
political strife in our country's history and get assassinated for his efforts.
Well he did free the Slaves and give us the Income tax so there is at least one
good thing there. Regardless, a the Five Dollar Bill is a much more people
friendly denomination. We could just scrap old white men altogether and use
pictures of National Parks. I vote for that before Global warming floods them
or burns them out of existence.

Let's not forget the dreaded Washington Redskins are
still a TARGET because its hateful and racists and promotes ill will amongst
every native American that ever received a survey question. The owner Daniel
Snyder has told the Congress to go screw themselves and they stripped him of
his trademark, for now... this is the 2nd time, the first since he's been
owner. The courts thought otherwise, but hey its just a Constitution.
Washington will be the first of many if the politically incorrect crowd gets
its way... Cleveland, Atlanta, San Diego, and every college, high
school, and little league team down the line. So far at least Notre Dame is
safe but I have a feeling that Leprechaun's days are numbered. It's a hate
symbol to all good drunk Irishmen. Away with you bloody little green man!

Perfume and Cologne... Well lets ban that.
Olfactory offensiveness is just as bad as visual offensiveness. If you have bad
Body Odor of any sort you must report to a hygiene re-education seminar and be
certified clean before returning to your workplace or other public venue.

Sushi... well that is just a public nuisance. It
promotes the spread of all sorts of ocean born diseases and kills off far too
many "potentially endangered" species of fish. Only Tofu Sushi should
be permitted. Save our ocean fisheries!!!

Have I crossed over into the pretty much ridiculous? Well,
that's for you to decide... the point is there is no end to where things will
end when the politically incorrect crowd gets started. They are instrumentalist.
They started with cigarette smoking in airplanes in the 70's, first just 2 hour
flights, then it just expanded until there was none. That wasn't enough... it
went to public buildings, then private buildings, now even some outdoor venues.
Is smoking bad for you, pretty much certainly yes... are they hypocrites? You
bet your ass... They'll ban where you smoke but they won't ban tobacco. You see
tobacco comes with a "Sin Tax" and that tax even though it is
dwindling is worth millions of dollars to the coffers of Federal, State, and
Local governments. It's okay if it kills you as long as you pay up. They really
don't give a shit about you, they just don't want to be bothered with your
smoke and they still want your money so they can laugh behind your back.
They're moving toward the same thing with Alcohol, but too many of them still
need that to calm their nerves when they run short of the prescriptions they've
been popping, or to get chill after one too many Starbucks. A few years back a certain
Senator from Vermont tried to put a 1,000% tax on Ammunition as a back door ban
to certain weapons. Fortunately for America he couldn't get it passed out of
his own committee and he was the Chairman. All is not lost...but it could be if
we don't keep a watchful eye. You can be sure they're watching you.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of
religion. . . . Marriage although administered under the civil laws of
the state, is more commonly associated with its traditional religious roots with
the bulk of ceremonies are performed regularly in Churches, Mosques, Synagogues,
and Temples. Thus by its nature provides ample concern based on other president
to be deemed "Establishment" and therefore Unconstitutional as a
state function. That argument is not much of a stretch, but no sane person
wants to make it for a myriad of different reasons, most of all the state
because it benefits greatly.

Regardless, States have the ability to provide for
contractual agreements between individuals. They can receive a non-religious
name Social Contract or Civil Contract as opposed to the apparently offensive
Civil Union that exist in many states currently. A contract simply sets forth a
set of rules under which two people will function as a partnership. The State
can provide boiler plate language and the participants are free to add whatever
other requirements are necessary to codify the relationship that suits them
best. Agreements of this type can and should be renewable periodically with a
fee attached in the same way as a corporation or partnership pays a fee to a
State, or an individual pays for a drivers license or professional license.

Religious Matrimony is a function of religious organizations
and is sanctioned by them according to their sovereign guidelines and rules. If
a Church wants to join two men or two women in a ceremony that is their choice,
but if another church does not, they are free to exercise their freedom under
the Constitution. Nothing is more sacred to Americans than their ability to
practice their faith or not, and to do so without the interference of the State
to the extent that all other manner of law is observed. Religions determine
what is Holy or not and what meets the requirements of particular faith. For
instance Roman Catholics require a six month instructional period prior to
marriage in the Church so that a couple is deemed fully aware of the responsibilities
of the Sacrament Holy Matrimony and the consequences of their having entered
into it from a number of perspectives both financially and spiritually. The
same is true for other faiths for different time frames. Other's have no such
requirement.

The point here is that no one gets to own a Word. No one
receives purview over defining society. The same should hold true for each and
every word that has any controversy associated with it, regardless of the political
prize for which it might curry favor . Words do not have rights. Words do not
have responsibilities. Rights and Responsibilities are for people alone. No
group should be able to hold another group hostage over a word. No individual
should have to have their conscience or livelihood trampled or tossed aside
because of a word. The time for Political Correctness and the Word Police to
take permanent leave of us, and for all concerned to understand no one is
better or worse an another. So, no more Defense of Marriage Amendments, no more
LGBT Marriage Lawsuits, Laws, or Amendments to Constitutions. No more torts for
damages for hurt feelings, and no more businesses being forced to comply with
rules they do not believe in for the sake of their conscience. No more veiled references
to the intolerance of mainstream religions.

The entire Grievance industry needs to be shut down and the Race
industry is no exception. When the mere
mention of the word Racist shuts down any and all discussion about any topic
whatever, there can be no effective reasonable communication between two or
more parties simply because someone may have been unduly tainted by an
unsubstantiated accusation. If there is no civil discourse there can never be a
point at which people can even agree to disagree on any topic. Lists of
"Code Words", one that is secret and seemingly never ceasing to grow
provides a moving target for anyone deemed irrelevant and ripe for abuse. The
abusers reap far beyond what they sow in benefits, much of which undoubtedly comes
from sources far less interested in furthering the agenda of an organization
than they are the political discourse that benefits themselves and their
friends.

The Incrementalismmay
have worked it's magic to bring forth what most assuredly seems like victory
for a LGBT minority that has achieved protected class. Unfortunately for them,
it has now met with inertia, yes that nasty law that requires an equal reaction
of force. A backlash is beginning and the results will not be pretty. It would
have been really nice if everyone could have followed the advice of Rodney King
and tried to just get along. The LBGT community could have been so much farther
ahead and much more readily accepted had they simply gone along with
compromises that did not involve words. Achievement of Equality does not always
mean being equal in all regard. Some will always be more equal than others.
However, when you rub your neighbors face in his own dog poop you cannot expect
to be invited to their next barbeque. Food for thought.

The Real War on Women that has been purposely unreported by the
media for decades is not a Secret War waged by underground forces of the
conservative movement subsidized by wealthy capitalist seeking to take away
birth control and shut down abortion clinics. No, the Real War on Women the media
has avoided like the plague is the war waged against a particular class of
women by no less than the Homosexual Community. The reason it has not been
reported is because it does not lend itself to promote the narrative of the
struggle of the Homosexual Community through the decades of its own discrimination by
any number of groups, both majority and minority based. These poor women are truly in
a class of their own, left to fend for themselves, and have nowhere to turn for
help. They are forgotten as were lepers sent to a colony to waste away. They receive no justice here
in the United States of America.

Who are these women? Where do they come from? Why have they
been abused? They are normal everyday women, born of everyday parents, who
through no fault of their own received a name on their birth certificate. Their
name is "Gay". They were born between the 1920's and the 1970's to
American households, and their parents believed in their heart of hearts the
name they gave their little girl baby meant Happy or Joyful, and were very
proud to have done so when they affixed their signature to the birth certificate.
Most grew up happy and content, not a worry in the world, some leading full lives, and have achieving great things. Then in the late 1970's their world became
shattered. Their name whose primary definition was happy or joyful was been
co-opted by the Homosexual Community and the new definition was now to be
Homosexual.

All across America the Gay Banner became the new word for
Homosexual and the Name "Gay" was set aside, cast aside even like a
tattered flag on a trash heap waiting to be burned. The Women named
"Gay" were suddenly women with "No Name". They had no place
to turn, no public advocate. They dare not challenge the new and powerful
"Gay Community" that now had begun to hold "Gay Pride
Parades" and formed their own government lobby. They had lost their war before it had even begun, with no shots
fired. No newspaper accounts were made, no radio or television reporters came
to interview them. They were American Outcasts in their own country and remain
so today. How is this possible in a country that prides itself in protecting
minority rights? How can a War on Women become a daily drum beat on network
newscasts and there be not one mention of a single woman named "Gay".
It is truly absurd and astonishing.

So where do these women turn? How do they get their Name and
their rights restored? What reparations are they owed by our government for the
abuses they have suffered for being abandoned these many years as a minority?
Where will they put the Monument in Washington, DC to the "Women named
Gay"? The time to act is now, before all of these women have perished from
this earth. They deserve their day in court, their rights preserved, and their
name restored to its proper place.

Will you help take back the name Gay for these women and for those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice? Will you restore the primary definition of the word Gay to it's former lustre. Will you fight for the rights of these forgotten women? Will you end the Real War on Women?

Go out and pick yourself up two copies of The Liberty Amendments by Mark R Levin an Attorney, Constitutional Law Expert, founder of the Landmark Lega lFoundation, and Nationally Syndicated Radio Talk Show Host. Read one, give the
other to a friend, and then convince someone who disagrees with you to read the
one you read. Our country is at stake and it is far too important to leave to
the hands of those who would abuse it into perpetuity, leaving our children and
our children's children financially and morally bankrupt forever.

Individual Rights and Individual Responsibilities are the Hallmarks of
all that is American. The basis of our very being as a country lies within
accepting rights from our Creator and as Individuals giving certain of them to
a government formed of by and for the people. Our Government is limited by its
very nature and subject to the people through their elected representatives.
What has occurred since the ratification of the Constitution of the United
States is the very nightmare discussed so eloquently by the founders in the
Federalist Papers and by Alexis deTocqueville
in his Democracy in America, a tyranny. The people
have become so ignorant and or so lazy, that they have failed to exercise
proper judgment in their suffrage right as to allow the Congress of the United
States to take to themselves powers not granted to them, and to grant unto the
President powers which they have no right to grant unto it; while at the same
time allowing the President to accumulate powers unto itself powers not granted
either by the Constitution or by the Congress. This has lead to unchecked authority to be
taken by the Courts not granted to them by the Congress, and a Supreme Court
not made of the best jurists, but rather of the most politically aligned
jurists. Our system of government as nearly as perfect as it can be has
therefore found itself in tatters and near failure. The only solution is to use
the authority granted within the Constitution to the People through the States
under Article Five (5) to correct the wrongs by way of a convention to offer
certain Amendments to the Constitution that neither the Congress, the
President, or the Courts have any authority to review, and then should they be
passed by the States in due course, become the sovereign law of the land under
which the Congress, the President, and the Courts must abide.

The movement is afoot to do just this, Several State Legislatures have
approved bills authorizing representatives to be appointed to an Article FiveConstitutional Convention. Hopefully more States will follow and soon the
people will be able to take back their Government and restore faith and hope in
the Constitution of the United States. Term limits on Members of Congress, on
Federal Judges, and on Supreme Court Justices is one item. Another is
explicitly clear language regarding certain clauses the "Commerce
Clause" the "Establishment Clause" to name two, to resolve any
misinterpretation of the stated intent of the limitations intended. Yet another
is repeal of the direct election of the Senate of the United States, and a
return to the previous format where State legislatures approved the appointment
of Senators, assuring that Senators are beholding to the interest of the State they
represent and not to the interest of outside influences. There is a laundry
list of reasonable changes that could be made to help correct crony capitalism
and special interest corruption. The Tenth Amendment powers must be expanded
giving the States more authority and autonomy. Government is and should be best
administered closest to its source, the people.

A powerful wind blew
through the Commonwealth of Virginia on Tuesday November 5, 2013, not the usual
gale one might expect to come from the South off the Carolina Capes, but a odorous
and ominous belch of stench funded by forces known not by Virginian's but by
silent invaders hoping to further their agenda through betting on their
candidate for Governor. They succeeded in their goal of turning the highest
state office over to a Democrat with no experience in public office beyond back
room dealing and bundling cash for those who would do the bidding for the true
brokers of power. They took the top three positions in the Commonwealth, and
picked up a few seats in the Virginia House of Delegates as well.

However, what did not
accomplish was a clean sweep, as the control of the House of Delegates remains
firmly in control of the Republican party. They accomplished an exact mirror of the
government in Washington, DC with control of the upper house of the legislature
and the executive with one party and the lower house of the legislature with
the other. Unfortunately for them, the Constitution of the Commonwealth of
Virginia will not provide any playground for the nonsense found on Capitol Hill. Virginia has its
fiscal house in order and plans to keep it that way, and the House of Delegates
is not about to lay down or cower to their counterparts in the Senate or to the
Governor. Their role is clearly laid out for them, and they have the power of
the purse firmly in their grasps. The new Governor who won by a margin of less
than fifty percent in a plurality has no firm mandate to make demands,
regardless of any claims to the contrary. This is especially true because the
very political machine that so profoundly funded the exploitive negativity of
the past many months, also contributed heavily to the third party candidate
that provided for the bitter sweet pill of not receiving a clear mandate with a true
majority of the voting citizens.

The fact that the money driven election
polls tumbled violently in the last days of the campaign as the major issue
moved to ObamaCare and that the name sake of the law came to tout the virtues
of the winning candidate without uttering a word about his signature
legislation leaves one to wonder why on the occasion of his acceptance speech
the Governor elect chose to make ObamaCare's Medicaid expansion a primary point
of his agenda drawing from a missing mandate. The very media that helped to support him was
forced to report exit polls showing more than half of all voters had some
serious reservations about implementing all or parts of the law based upon its
website debacle and the cancellation of what will be untold millions of
Americans who were blatantly lied to by their President on more than two dozen
occasions stating the exact opposite would be true in order to insure passage
of the legislation, and for many months in fact years afterwards.

Money Politics was played
in Virginia and the Money won a hollow victory. It is proof beyond a shadow of
a doubt that the framers of both the Virginia Constitution and the US
Constitution were wise beyond their ability to comprehend. Even in this
advanced technological age their tried and true system of checks and balances
won out in the end. Thank God, yes God (as would have they) for a Draw... Amen.
